To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education.

To be depressed or neurotic is passive. It happened to us; we are its victim, and we have no control over it.

Unlike the weak, the strong neither give up nor are driven by pain into rash or stupid behavior. They don't like pain any more than anyone else, but they are not willing to settle for short-term relief if it means reducing their options later. They don't rob Peter to pay Paul, they face reality now.

I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.

Without pay, no human being will work up to their ability if he or she is not cared for and respected.

When you study great teachers... you will learn much more from their caring and hard work than from their style.
